    Volkl AC-3 Unlimited 2007 - Killer deal?

    Wondering if I should pick these up - looking for other opinions. I just demo'd a set that are in mint condition selling for $350. Conditions were bullet proof Eastern ice after rain. Held beautifully on the hard stuff, but if I wasn't testing the skis, I wouldn't have even bothered going out...

    Loon - Not too shabby 2/10-2/13

    Although not blessed with the same high snow totals of the various other resorts in the Northeast, the 20 inches or so that fell tranformed the place from mediocre to pretty darned good. Every trail is open, including all the glades (though there are a couple that really should have been closed...

    Jay Peak 3/16 POWDER CITY

    Aside from the wind, absolutely sublime. My first time at Jay in over 35 years skiing New England. Where have I been? Great area with awesome conditions. We arrived at 11am to howling wind that kept the tram and quad closed. Took Bonaventure up and hiked up to JFK. Amazing -- knee deep and...

    Attitash 3/15

    It was blowing like stink at the top, but the conditions were pretty good. I guess that whatever snow that got last week was wiped out by the rain earlier this week. Trails that were groomed, especially the blacks, were very good. We did not venture onto ungroomed, as they looked like they were...

    Loon 2/4-2/5

    After Friday's deluge, Saturday began with bullet proof conditions. So bad, in fact, that the Ski Patrol closed some of the steeper runs. As the day progressed, warmer air and sun softened the slopes to spring-like corn snow conditions. The last runs of the day were wonderful, though coverage...
